when i tryed to install thief 1 on my new comp,it said it cant install it due to a direct x issue with window nt,i got no idea what that means,is there a fix? running window 7 home premium.

Sure, grab the unofficial patch from here. It contains various fixes and improvements to the textures and models, will update Thief to use ddfix and stop it crashing on multicore processors. Last time I used it I just had to copy the THIEF directory from my CD onto my computer in an area outside Program Files (e.g. c:\games is fine) and then run the patch and pick the directory I had copied it to.

This is answered in the Thief Series FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Technical / Purchasing / Etc.).

But did you try Al_B's suggestion of copying and pasting the Thief directory from the cd to your pc?
